====== ORIG_STRUCT property ======

 


 
==== Applies To ====
 
All controls.
 
==== Description ====
 
Used only with [[get_property|Get_Property()]], returns the structure with initial values of the control.
 
==== Usage ====
 
//column// = **Get_Property**(//objectname//, "**ORIG_STRUCT**")
 
==== Remarks ====
 
This is useful when you want to manipulate a non changeable property for a particular control. You can procedurally capture the control's attribute information, manipulate the desired property, destroy the control, and then re-create the control using the modified information gathered from ORIG_STRUCT. For an example, see the TABBED_TEMPLATE form's [[create_event|CREATE event]] in the EXAMPLES application.
 
==== Returns ====
 
An @VM delimited array of the control's attributes and values. Refer to the [[ps_equates|PS_EQUATES record]] for positional information about the layout of the array.
